    I presume it's because when you copy a password to the clipboard, another app can view it.

    I don't understand why it resets at universal jump engine. Is that the end of the game, or is there some way to end up in a different state? I got to the point where that was the o…

    Does activity pub not use public key cryptography? (I don't know the answer to this but assumed it would have) If each post is encrypted and signed by the author, and Sig chains ar…

    It's a shame you don't get to see what the other person voted for, whether they thought you were a bot or a human.

    Looking through that site, one of the things used to identify you is the value of the "do not track" header... So the existence of that header actually makes tracking worse on the …

    I agree, and on top of that Google products used to be, in my experience of top notch quality. But over the past couple of years I'm seeing more and more bugs in Google maps, chrom…

    I've looked for a way to print to a printer on Firefox mobile but have never found one and always have to switch to Chrome just to print. Does anyone know if it's possible yet?

    For anyone as confused as I was, peloton is the term for riding bicycles close together in a group. Not the brand of indoor exercise machines.

    I wish they'd advertise it better. I use Firefox mobile and it's so much better than Chrome I'd hate to go back. If the mainstream were aware how much better advert-less browsing i…

    I've been given the "we're a small start-up so can't afford to pay what you're currently on" line. I believed it at the time, and told them that's ok, I understand but I'm not will…

    Just tried this out, looks great, I've wanted something like this for a long time! I often use Cmd-tab to switch between apps on the mac, and I noticed that this search pane shows …

    I think this is an experiment. And given the current state of the internet in regards to fact checking, it's commendable that they are trying something to help address the issue. M…

    Can someone explain the maths to me? His original plan was to donate 99% of his wealth to philanthropy. The problem was that would involve selling the majority of his fb shares, an…

    I've been wondering about this for a while. Now both whatsapp and Facebook have this, but surely they have the encryption keys too, or how else would they seamlessly fetch your mes…

    It's not equivalent. When you own bitcoin it's up to yourself to protect it. In the regulated currencies it's not under your control.
